Abstract


Objective: To explore the viability of arbitration as an alternative dispute resolution method for cybersecurity conflicts, analyzing its benefits, challenges, and future potential in the context of increasing digital threats.

Method: The research adopts a qualitative approach through bibliographic review and document analysis, drawing from theoretical frameworks, case studies, and empirical data to investigate the application of arbitration in cybersecurity disputes.

Results: The study reveals that arbitration offers key advantages such as confidentiality, speed, and technical expertise in resolving cybersecurity disputes. However, challenges remain, including the need for specialized arbitrators, transparency issues, and the complexity of applicable legal and technological frameworks.

Conclusion: Arbitration emerges as a promising tool for cybersecurity conflict resolution, but its success depends on the training of qualified professionals, the development of appropriate procedures, and the overcoming of cultural and legal barriers. A culture of collaboration and innovation is essential to strengthen its role in digital security protection.
